The Rebirth of the Lazy Nobles Woman
Chapter 1: The Rebirth

In the pitch-black room, a faint shadow could be seen in the darkness, curled up in a corner.

Suddenly the door opened, letting a ray of light into the room. The girl tied in the corner seemed to react to the light, raising her head towards the door to show her porcelain-skinned face. His eyes narrowed as if he was adjusting to the light, and his soft lips conicaled slightly. Even though she was disheveled and her clothes were dirty, it still could not hide her rough diamond-like beauty.

A split second later, he lowered his gaze again, hiding the indifference in his view.

The woman was outside the entrance, and her smile looked extremely ominous under the lighting.

This was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Xijin. He was known far and wide for having a keen intuition in finance, and every choice he had made on behalf of the Gu family would take him to a higher level. In the past three years he had taken over as the head of the Gu family, he was hailed by everyone as a genius who took his family up from a second-rate family to one of the best in the world.

Not only that, his art circulated in the art world as a work that would go down in history. All of her oil painting was stored as treasures at international exhibitions, and even the most talented artist in Hua Xia was infatuated with her because of her talent ... She was the perfect daughter of the Gu family that countless people were proud of

Thinking of this, Gu Xiqiao sneered and started laughing so loudly that he almost cried.

This woman in front of him was his sister from a different mother, and they were quite close ... At least that's what he thinks.

On the day she joined the Gu family, she knew that she was an illegitimate daughter. She did not get Madam Gu's help especially when she stood out, so Gu Xiqiao continued to lower her presence as she hid behind Gu Xijin, helping her older sister step up to the heights of life.

The world only knew the eldest daughter of the Gu family, but none of them knew that all her achievements were from illegitimate daughters.

In the eyes of the general public, Gu Xiqiao was simply a foolish girl who was not talented at anything.

Meanwhile, Gu Xijin was widely praised as the perfect successor of the Gu family and a one-in-a-million genius.

Gu Xiqiao did not care what the world thought of him. She was easily moved by the act of kindness towards her, and since Gu Xijin had always treated her well when she first joined the family, she had always helped her sister without a single complaint.

He put in all his blood, sweat, and tears to help the Gu family reach its present height, but now they would sacrifice it for the sake of Gu Xijin!

He was thrown away like a disposable device!

Very amusing... How funny!

"Why?" Gu Xiqiao suddenly stopped laughing and looked at Gu Xijin with a questioning look.

Gu Xijin slowly crouched down and looked at Gu Xiqiao's hand. She originally had a beautiful pair of hands with pliable fingers, but was now broken and crushed as a result of torture.

"The Gu family has been taking care of you for a long time, don't you have to pay us?" Gu Xijin glared at him, before covering his mouth with his hand as his expression turned mocking. "Tomorrow is my wedding day and Xia's, but I can't calm down unless I get rid of you first, understand?"

Perhaps it was because he thought that Gu Xiqiao did not have the chance to see the light anymore, Gu Xijin did not even bother to hide his evil intentions.

He had always been afraid that his disguise would explode, and everything he had now would no longer be his. The world only knows how glamorous his life is on the surface, and not how he throws and turns every night distracted by nightmares, and the only way he could rest well was to get rid of Gu Xiqiao!

Not to mention that the girl had prepared enough proposals for the life of the Gu family ten years into the future!

Now that the Gu family was already at the top of the country, Gu Xiqiao had lost his usefulness.

"Don't you know that I hate this indifferent expression of yours? What to be proud of, you're just a dog taken by our family out of pity!" Gu Xijin raised his foot and stepped on Gu Xiqiao's hand, stomping on him without mercy until his hand started bleeding again. "Our family doesn't keep useless trash! You should take it as an honor!"

The door was then tightly shut, and the room turned dark again.

Gu Xiqiao did not make any sound, and his expression did not change at all.

He looked out the window and let an extremely small ray of light hit his face for a moment, before smiling mockingly at himself. Not much why or how.

It was purely because no one cared about him.

He thought they cared about him, but it was just a facade under Gu Xijin's careful planning.

...

That night, the Gu House was razed to the ground, and Gu Xiqiao was reported dead, and according to official reports, they could not even find his body. For this, everyone just looked coldly, before returning their attention to the eldest daughter and the greatest woman in N city, Gu Xijin.

What happened next, however, was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Gu family was suddenly involved in a severe financial crisis, and although the Gu family tried to change things, they ended up losing to a small company without having to bother.

This was news that really caused the discussion around the Gu family to grow further, and at this point everyone had realized that something was amiss. Why did the first daughter of the Gu Family become useless once the second daughter died? Did he feed all his genius and talent to some pig?

Soon after, the evidence that the Gu family's first daughter had smuggled illegal items and bribed people in high places and even more unspeakable acts, was revealed, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The once glorious Gu family became dust in such a short time that no one could react.

...

Gu Xiqiao stood up as he looked at the scene in front of him, observing the scene of the outside world he saw through the empty mirror.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and made a wooden table and chair appear in front of him. A stack of ancient scrolls and thick books were stacked in a mess on the table, and he took one book out of the pile to read.

There was no night or day in the void, and only an endless supply of books and scrolls on various topics. He had no idea how long he had spent in this place when one day, a cold voice sounded in his head.

[Terms have been met. Now activate the system ..]

When she reopened her eyes, she saw a young and beautiful face staring back into the mirror.

Her fine, unraveled hair flowed down onto her chest as her low lashes fluttered. Further down is a perfectly angled chin and soft cherry lips. Her young age somewhat covered her overly pretty face, but the basics of beauty were there.

Gu Xiqiao raised his head slowly to show a pair of clear and unstained eyes, flashing slowly as he calmed the waves of his emotions.

[Welcome back, Er Qiao!]

"Yes, I'm back." Gu Xiqiao took out tissue paper to dry his fingers one by one, his tone somehow sounding dry and raspy despite his young age.

The system turned into a human form, and propped up his chin in his hand.

[Er Qiao, are you going to unlock your mission?]

"Yes." Yeah."

[Dig! Daily missions successfully opened! Random mission successfully opened! Successfully unlock hidden missions! Successfully open a Level 0 System Shop! Congratulations to Er Qiao!]

Gu Xiqiao kicked the flip-flops off his feet lazily and chose a cotton skirt for himself, his pale, doll-like legs, contrasting with the bright colors of the carpet beneath.

A plain cotton one-piece dress and a simple pair of canvas shoes were perfect for her, and as she stared at her reflection in the mirror, the coldness of her gaze slowly began to recede.

Today was the first day of May in the year 15, which was also the day of Gu Xijin's maturity ceremony. Gu Xiqiao walked down the stairs slowly towards the party held downstairs.

The crowd of young men and women all stopped their chatter as the young lady walked down the stairs, their gazes attracted to her and the hall fell into silence.

Her head was slightly slanted as she walked down, her hair covering her face so that it only showed a beautiful side profile and porcelain skin. She was only wearing a simple cotton dress, but it made her even more attractive, and for a moment, everyone had a picture of a flower blooming along with her steps.

Gu Xijin who had been the center of attention earlier frowned indifferently before smiling amiably and walking over to the young lady, hooking their hands intimately and introducing, "Everything, is, this is my new little sister Gu Xiqiao."

The focus of that sentence is on the word 'new'.

Once they heard Gu Xijin's introduction, the crowd had a moment of collective realization, their gaze changing from admiration to something more complicated.

The news that the Gu family had received an illegitimate daughter with great fanfare last month had become the laughingstock of the high society. They all looked at her like a wild hen breaking through a group of phoenixes, and compared to the well-educated and beautiful eldest daughter of the Gu family, she was like an ugly duckling.

People say that she is a real Cinderella, but all she has is a beautiful face.

How could he be compared to them, who had been taught and educated well since they were born?

As soon as they saw the true circumstances, quite a number of them stepped forward to mince words with him, but Gu Xiqiao only smiled and slightly shook his head to stop them from talking to him any further.

A white-clothed young lady nearby saw this and sneered, before pulling on Gu Xijin's clothes gently. "They only talk to him because he's your little sister. He's just an illegitimate child who has no value other than helping you put on your shoes, how dare he be so tall and mighty!"

He did not suppress his voice, so of course everyone heard.

Gu Xiqiao's smile did not even falter as he held the cup of wine in his hand, and when he saw Gu Xijin walking towards him, the sound of the system rang in his mind.

[Warning! The system has detected that Gu Xijin's affection for you is -48.]

[Level of affection: Enemy]

[The system automatically marks this person with a red mark, proceed with caution!]

He lowered his head, his hair covering his expression as he smiled cunningly for a moment.

His clear eyes suddenly seemed shrouded in complicated emotions, and he only narrowed his eyes with a mock smile as he raised his cup towards his half-brother. "Happy birthday Brother."

After he said so, he put down his wine glass and left.

His tone was clear and gentle but was filled with coldness, and was far from his sadness and depressed attitude. Is this really Gu Xiqiao?

Gu Xijin did not react for a moment, and let the girl walk out the front door just like that.

The white-clothed young lady whispered to a group of rich children, and since it was rare to see such a beautiful and gentle girl, they immediately followed Gu Xiqiao. Surprisingly, no matter how they walked, they could not walk out of the main entrance.

Did something supernatural happen to them? A chill pierced the backs of the rich children.
